The thing I miss the most right now is being able to travel, so of course I am going to pitch a roleplay-idea based around traveling. The basic idea is that two female friends are backpacking around the world. I am not set on a specific destination, maybe they are doing Europe? Maybe they are doing Asia? Maybe they are doing a trip around the whole world? So nothing set in stone here. As for how they are financing this trip? I am thinking they worked their asses off to save up money and they could be planning to look for short-time work as they travel as well. Especially for a longer trip this could be fun to include in the story. As for the relationship between them. They are best friends and they would enjoy friendly banter, not to mention getting their friend into some fun trouble. This could be through dares or silly bets, or maybe you have another idea for how to get a friend in some fun trouble.

Even though the focus of the story will be their friendship and their travels, they will meet a lot of people along the way. I want us to divide these characters between ourselves, and write out scenes where our main characters interact with these characters both on their own and together with their best friend. So you have to be able to come up with and write for a vast array of short-time characters of different genders for this one.

That is the main thing I am looking for in a partner here, being able to write lots of different characters. As well as work together to create a dynamic between the two main characters that screams best friends. Other than that just be friendly and up for some serious plotting and I am certain we will get along like a house on fire.

Now, you might crave some more details about the idea, but I prefer fleshing things out together with a partner. I believe we will both enjoy writing a story in a world that we have created together more than a world and story I have created on my own. So I welcome questions, suggestions, crazy ideas and whatever else you can throw my way (just leave my kitchen sink alone, please) and let’s get this plotting party started.

Hey, this looks interesting! I've got a couple characters I've played before who'd fit right in, or I could make up someone new. Why don't you tell me more about what you're looking for in a character and if there are any themes you'd like to explore? I, myself, have a strong affinity for characters of different backgrounds, be they rooted in culture or socioeconomic class or religion or just upbringing, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for some sort of odd couple pairing like that. Speaking of couples, were you picturing their relationship moving in a romantic direction?

When it comes to playing multiple characters, I actually consider that one of my strong points. For the past three-going-on-four years, I've been writing for a video game (just a hobby thing, nothing commercial), and we ended up with over fifty voiced roles by the end of it. I tried to give all of them well-realized personalities, and I think I mostly succeeded, even for the random one-off bit parts. I can send you some samples if you're curious.

I'm certainly open to pursuing the idea as you originally described it, backpacking throughout Europe or something, but I'd also be open to putting a bit of a fantastical spin on it. Maybe this is the near future or an alternate history, or some kind of fantasy world (I have an idea in this space that might appeal to you); maybe we could go really all-out and do some kind of dimension-hopping premise. Alternatively, if you're in the mood for exploration, I do have a parallel world that I'm quite fond of - it's Earth-like, and there's nothing supernatural about it, but all the countries and cultures and histories are different - that we could do something with, although that does leave open a lot of questions, like who visits who's world and how. These are all just different options, and at the end of the day, I'm totally down to stick with the real world, too. I'm generally a pretty open-minded person :)
